P17 2 Layout 1 TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 2016 SPORTS HANDBALL Mercenaries find it ‘hard’ to win against strong Qatar RIO DE JANEIRO: It was hard, according to Croatian back Marko Bagaric, but the Olympic dream can make people do strange things. Bagaric’s team beat his homeland Croatia 30-23 in a stunning opening to the Olympic handball tournament in Rio. His team is Qatar and he is one of 11 “mercenaries” in the oil and gas rich Gulf state’s 14-man squad for the Games. The hardest part for Bagaric came during the national anthems. After, it was a match like any other. “I played with many of these players, and I lived with some of them in Croatia, in clubs,” said the 30-year-old, who scored one goal in the victory. “The worst feeling was during the national anthem. Ah, but what can I do? Qatar gave me the opportunity to play in the Olympic Games. It is the dream of any sportsman. “For me it was hard, but after the game, I can relax.” Croatia were amongst the favourites to win this tournament — only the old Soviet Union have a better men’s Olympic handball record than RIO DE JANEIRO: Long Qingquan, of China, celebrates a successful lift in the men’s 56kg weightlifting competition at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

  • 2019 Bond University Rugby Annual Report
    BOND UNIVERSITY RUGBY 2019 Annual Report The Bond University Rugby Club continues to be the Club of choice for male and female rugby players on the Gold Coast to develop in a holistic team environment, while striving to reach individual rugby aspirations. Our strategy to assist the Gold Coast and Districts Rugby Union (GCDRU) to improve the competitive competition on the Gold Coast is with a view to have a sustainable development pathway for Gold Coast rugby players and staff into the future. Connor Pritchard (1st Grade #7) was promoted to premier Rugby after an excellent season in the GCDRU 1st grade competition in 2018. Connor went on to start every 1st grade game for Bond University Rugby in 2019, he was voted as Players’ Player to receive the Slipper Trophy and was selected and played for Bond University QLD Country in the National Rugby Championships in the same year. An excellent example of the success of the strategic plan for Gold Coasts’ only Premier Rugby Club. MEN’S RUGBY: SENIORS: Grant Anderson, Gold Coast’s first 100 cap Premier player, again demonstrated his loyalty to the Club and as Head Coach led a fierce charge for the 1st grade team at the back end of the season. After a number of disruptions and a poor start to the season however, again we missed finals play offs by the smallest of margins. Through some outstanding performances a number of players were rewarded with further representative honours. Congratulations to Bond University Rugby’s senior representative players from 2019: Wallabies: James Slipper (2019 RWC) Reds Super Rugby : Angus Blyth, Gavin Luka, Alex Mafi, Hamish Stewart Brumbies Super Rugby: James Slipper Bond University Qld Country NRC Angus Blyth, Dan Boardman, Joey Fittock, Gavin Luka, Alex Mafi, Zac Moi Moi, Connor Pritchard, Hamish Stewart Bond University Qld Country Manager: Leticia Chapman COLTS: (Colts 2) for the 2nd consecutive year, were Bond University Rugby Club’s highest achievers, making the Grand Final and finishing second.
